Comedy of Manners in the Importance of Being Earnest
Oscar Wilde, an English author, was born in Dublin. Oscar distinguished himself in classics or the standard books of Greek and Latin authors at Trinity College, Dublin. At Oxford he gave evidence of his keen devotion to the subject of 'Art for Art's sake' and became one of the most prominent writers. His Works 'A Woman of No Importance' in 1893, 'An Ideal Husband' 1895, and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' 1895. As a writer exception of 'The Importance of Being Earnest' their merits are wholly shallow but not deep and their merits are derived from other writers. As a Dramatist 'Wilde might have become a great playwright certainly a great maker of 'artificial' comedy."The Importance of Being Earnest, produced February 14, 1895, bears witness to that, for there he is himself, his witty paradoxes expressed with a fine sense of dramatic form, and not flung into the play as brilliant irrelevancies.
